[Nexus] GLoG 82: So Many Babies!

[Slii Arhem]

Please read as far as the double lines before posting in this thread

The Good League of Good is a Nexus organization devoted to the redemption of evildoers and the care and support of those in need. If you are looking to smite evil, please check out HALO or WATCHTOWER.

If you are brand new to ffrp, please come to the Nexus OOC thread and introduce yourself. We all want to meet you!

A Brief History of GLoG:

Spoiler

Show

You know what this OP needs? A brief history of GLoG. Which would have to be written by one of the few people who were around from the beginning. Any volunteers?

Our Redemption Program:

Spoiler

Show

Individuals who come in search of redemption should be interviewed by a member to see how their needs can be best met, and then assigned to a mentor who will assist them. Graduation from the redemption program will occur when both the redemee and his/her mentor agree that they have made sufficient progress.

Other Charitable Activities:

Spoiler

Show

In addition to the redemption of evildoers, the organization performs other good works such as caring for distressed individuals in need, housing and feeding evacuees from the city during disasters, and healing sick and injured people in GLoG's infirmary - renowned as the most advanced place of healing in the Nexus.

Attention villains:

Spoiler

Show

Conflict is great! It's the heart of any story, and there isn't much to roleplay without it. However, as a player to player courtesy, please check in with the players who are active at any given time before launching an attack. Not everyone wants to roleplay combat scenes, and sometimes there are other things going on that players don't want to interrupt for a random fight. Either a PM/IM to players, a short post in thread to say ((Mind if I introduce a villain here?)) or a longer post in the OOC thread if it's a larger plot is appreciated.

Also, please don't plan any villainy that will result in destroying the base or having the same effect (poisoning the lake, burning down the forest, etc.) without the consent of the majority of the players who would be affected.

Base Defences:

Spoiler

Show

There is a perimeter of cactus plants to encourage anyone on foot to enter by one of the main entrance points.

((If any of your characters add more defences, please PM them to the person who made this thread so they can be added.))

======================================

If you're a newbie, and you've read this far, you should know enough to join in the fun.
Everything beyond this point is Bonus Material.

Please PM the creator of the OP to be added to the list when you bring a character into the thread with the intention of redeeming or of having them reside here on a regular basis. IC, we'll assume there's a sign in log somewhere.

Our IC leadership council:
Andreas Emeral (played by Zefir)
Ironbeard (npc, can be played by anyone)
Quinn (played by The Bushranger)
Pathfinder (Wolfbane)
Reelshka (played by Morty)
Runner (played by KerfuffleMach2)
Shrike (played by The Bushranger)
Zamira (played by horngeek)

The leadership council exists so that any one member can make important decisions affecting all of GLoG. Basically, when someone shows up and says 'I need to speak to the person in charge', any one of the leadership council can handle it.

Description of the new GLoG setting:
(map to come maybe?)

Spoiler

Show

After the original GLoG building was destroyed by an army of catpeople, the survivors took out a mortgage and purchased Phoenix Lake Campground. Facilities include the main lodge house, a bathhouse with separate male and female sections, a stable (one horse present, a chestnut mare named Fancy owned by Dr Burnett), various picnic shelters, and a few scattered cabins. It's set in the foothills of the Acro mountains, and mainly surrounded by woods. There are many hiking trails nearby leading to mountaintop vistas, waterfalls, seacoves, and various other locations, both within this thread, and in the Outside thread. The campground is also within easy walking distance of the city of Inside, though there is also a Riftline station just outside the campground for those who prefer to take the train or who have farther to go.

At the lake, there is a small dock with a little shed nearby where a few canoes and paddleboats are stored. The swimming area has a GIANT slide and a rope swing. Because GIANT slides and rope swings are awesome. There is a sandy volleyball court not far from the slide, a playground under the trees, set back from the lake somewhat, and a set of horseshoe pits.

Having been built on a Generic Ancient Burial Ground, Phoenix Lake Campground is haunted by various ghosts. They are generally harmless, and for the most part glad to have some company, though pranks and hijinks may occur. Ghosts can be NPC'd by anyone unless they are listed as PCs in the Member/Resident list. They tend to speak in Gray, and mostly appear for comic purposes, but this is by no means a requirement.

Buildings:

Spoiler

Show

Main Lodge: This large building contains an industrial kitchen with a cafeteria style serving area, and an open space that was once used as the dining hall. The space is warmed by a massive fireplace. Bunk beds are lined up on one end of the hall, opposite the kitchen, and a few comfy chairs and sofas are beginning to appear around the fireplace as they are procured. The building itself is made of stone.

Bathhouse: This building is divided into the men's and women's bathhouses, with entrances at either end. It has shower stalls, a line of sinks, and toilet stalls in each.

Cabins: Individuals can have their own room within a cabin, but they are unlikely to have a full cabin to themselves unless they come equipped with a family. Some of the cabins have been rebuilt, so may have more space than the 4 room cabins the campground came with, and a few cabins have had private bathrooms installed. All cabins are named after trees, and players are free to invent further details about their own cabins.

Spoiler

Show

Main Lodge - Willow
Infirmary - Cedar

Cabin 1 - Oak
Cabin 2 - Sycamore
Cabin 3 - Redwood
Cabin 4 - Maple
Cabin 5 - Apple - Visitor's Cabin
Cabin 6 - Cherry
Cabin 7 - Chestnut
Cabin 8 - Birch
Cabin 9 - Dogwood
Cabin 10 - Elm - full
Cabin 11 - Denim - family cabin
Cabin 12 - Rowan - family cabin
Cabin 13 - Poplar - family cabin
Cabin 14 - Forest Hut - family cabin
Cabin 15 - Sapling - nursery

Cabin 5 - Apple is reserved for visitors who do not want to stay at the lodge. They are requested to check in at the main lodge, where any member can give them permission to stay for a few days. Longer than that, and unless they are in need, they would be requested to either join or move to their own place or one of the local inns.

New cabins can be added as the needed. Here is a list of unused tree names:

Linden, Larch, Ash, Pine, Magnolia, Olive, Fir, Spruce, Holly, Cottonwood, Cypress, Hemlock, Teak, Ebony, Pear, Fig, Date, Mahogany, Palm, Lime, Acadia, Gumbo Limbo…

Workshop: A well built cabin designed by Reelshka, containing nothing at present but the Mainframe installation. It is locked. Drones fly in and out of a small entrance that opens for them when they send an encrypted signal.

Infirmary: If no PC is present in the Infirmary, patients are tended to by Nurse Piper, a ghost NPC who haunts the infirmary. Despite being a ghost, she is solid enough when managing anything to do with nursing. She has a tyrannical bedside manner, but will always put the welfare of her patients first. She is able to generally stabilize patients and do general nursing care, but cannot provide magical healing or any type of advanced medicine that would normally be performed by a doctor.



PC healers include:
Quinn (The Bushranger) - doctor and paladin
Tobias (Firefox) - druid healer
Dr Adrian Rein (Murkus) - doctor

(PM the keeper of the OP if you want your character to be added to this list)

Infirmary Description

Spoiler

Show

The outside of the infirmary looks just like all the rest of the buildings. Nothing distinguishes it at all.

But inside, everything is white, with silver highlighting. Even though it doesn't seem possible, when looking from outside, sunlight filters inside. Giving the place a warm feeling with natural light.

A soft, soothing music filters through the whole building and voices can barely be heard saying words of healing and comfort, like: "You are going to be okay." "We'll take care of you." "You are dear to us." and so on.

Each room is walled off for a limited amount of privacy, because the pixies know that humans seem to need this. Strange. But it is limited. There are no doors.

Kinda looks like this:
______________________________________
|___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___|
|__/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/|
|__________________________________---|
|_\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\_|
|__\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\|


Except the angles are more severe, so that people on the other side of the hall can't see into anyone's room. Only someone intentionally looking in, can see you.

There is also a small living area in the back for the Druid family.

About the Drones Mk 2:

Spoiler

Show

In other news, the drones are back at GLoG. Drones are NPCs who can be played by anyone, within the guidelines below:

• Their Primary Function is member safety.
• They no longer have teleport beams or alignment scanners.
• They do have stun beams, little arms, and the ability to record what's going on around them.
• They follow orders, unless those orders conflict with their Primary Function.
• There are only 4-5 in operation at any one time.
• They can be destroyed, but if so, they'll be restored from backup.
• A few have been supplied with medical programming, and thus can be godmodded for infirmary duties.
• They often have weird personality quirks and are prone to malfunctioning.
• Statement: They speak in DarkOrange FixedSys
• The only named drone (so far) is Caretaker, who is a private drone charged with protecting Brinika and controlled by Morty.

There was some discussion about whether or not the time of the drones has passed, but since they are still sometimes used for mostly comic purposes, and since Brinika's personal drone is onscreen a lot, it seems right to keep a few around.

[The Bushranger]

[Woods Near the Fire Pit]

As her sword arcs around, Jit's other arm lashes at her body with lightning speed.

Fortunately for Quinn, this also removes his ability to block her attack. Her sword bites deep into his arm. In fact, it cuts through. But the arm healed behind the blade, so the arm doesn't fall off.

As her blade cuts through his arm, the red energy in Jit's eyes goes out. Not the claws, just the eyes. The claws will flicker out soon after, but not soon enough to save Quinn from them.

Quinn's psychic shield stop the claws! ...mostly.
They do however rake her side.
The paladin doesn't seem to notice though, as she once again tries to needle him!

[Vhaidara]

[Woods Near the Fire Pit]

Jit lets her.

Then suddenly is bolt upright.
Get back and get to cover!
His entire bod begins to glow with the vile red energy as an expression of incredible pain contorts his face.

[Morty]

Mushroom Cellar

"He was afraid that it'd mean I wasn't myself." He admits. "I calmed his thoughts, but that was before proof of it was shown to him. I don't know if he believes me or not as is." Pathfinder says before wrapping an arm around Reelshka and pulling her close for comfort.

Reelshka is pulled close and gives Pathfinder a kiss on the neck.
It's a lot for a child to take in. Maybe if you explain it to his parents, they'll help him come to terms with it. I'll help too, if you want.

A training montage with a twist ending. He takes off his hat and smiles coldly at Sophie, daring her to inquire further.

Sophie raises her eyebrow. Training montage... she knows Tobias is doing it on purpose, of course.
Interesting. I'm dying to find out more but for now, your question.

[FireFox]

[Maple Cabin]

When you play Rock-Paper-Scissors, which one do you pick first? Yeah.

[Murkus]

((My apologies Earl, I don't know how I missed this post))

Deep in the Forest

"I have a spare piece of striated jasper; if you win, I'll give it to you. But what if I win? And how should we determine winning, anyway, with just the two of us?" Normally it's last person to be found who wins and takes over the job of hunter.

"What's striated jasper?" Asks the boy, peering at Natalie. "And it's whether or not you find me. If you can find me, you win. If not, I win." The child sifts through his pockets, trying to find something Natalie can get if she wins. "How about these shiny rocks?" He asks, holding up what appears to be some jewelry.

[The Bushranger]

[Woods Near the Fire Pit]

Jit lets her.

Then suddenly is bolt upright.
Get back and get to cover!
His entire bod begins to glow with the vile red energy as an expression of incredible pain contorts his face.

Quinn steps back, wincing and raising her psionic shields once more!

===

[Meanwhile At The Galactic CoreKitchen]

Jamie and friends might well be wrassling a deceased GIANT ENEMY CRAB out to be cooked!

[Vhaidara]

[Woods Near the Firepit]

Quinn may notice a man like figure appear behind Jit out of the corner of her eyes. Then Jit explodes, the red energy pouring out of his body and flooding the surrounding area. For some reason, it seems to stop once it get about a dozen yards away from Jit in Quinn's direction. Quinn can probably still feel the heat of the raging energy through her shield. The exhumation takes almost a full minute, after which Jit collapses and the figure can be seen more clearly. It looks a lot like this.

[happyturtle]

Kitchen >> Campfire

Tito is doing his part. Particularly with the 'chop the giant crap up into small pieces so it isn't that big of a deal to move it' step.

[Gullara]

[Kitchen]

Salix is totally helping too! Her hands are even mostly clean. Can't say the same about the rest of her, but it's a step in the right direction.

[The Bushranger]

[Woods]

Quinn gets a nice warm fuzzy feeling!
...watches with raised eyebrow...

...then glares at the Mysterious Glowing Figure.

...clearly, the Goswell Scowl has worn off on her...


===


[Firepit]

Jamie must have wandered off to try and find a pot big enough for the crab!
...and she returns.
Frowns.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to cook crabs in the shell all of a piece?"

[Rebonack]

[Fire Pit]

Freddie is snoozing here!

Despite having left with Cat some time ago.

How does she manage this?

Time-y whime-y stuff no doubt.

Okay.

Well.

She's not actually snoozing. Huldra don't actually sleep. But she is kind of zoned out with hisr eyes closed and stuff. Not really paying attention to hisr surroundings. Which means she might not notice a fight going on relatively close by.

Remains to be seen what happens!

[Vhaidara]

[Woods Near the Firepit]

The figure looks at Quinn. As it speaks, the red glow fades from it. It's voice is strangely distorted.
If you are willing to take care of him, I will see to the disposal of this abomination.

[The Bushranger]

[Woods]

"I will," Quinn says firmly, nodding.

[Vhaidara]

[Woods Near the Firepit]

Good. Make sure there is food available when he awakens. I have just taken what has sustained him for almost a year. Farewell, Quinn Druid, and thank you.
In the next moment, the figure is gone. No sounds, no magical disturbance, nothing. Simply gone.

[The Bushranger]

[Woods]

Quinn pauses.
Shrugs.
...then steps forwards to collect Jit and take him to the Infirmary!
...while Laying On Hands on her own wounds.
"Physician, heal thyself."

[Vhaidara]

[Woods]

Jit is completely unconscious. Quinn may also notice that his breathing is very slow and very shallow.

[happyturtle]

Campfire

"If you're cooking it live, and you didn't already damage the shell, and it isn't filthy dirty and needing to be washed, sure. But in this case..." Tito "It's not the ideal way to cook crab, but it'll do."

HT has no idea if any of the above is true.

[UncleWolf]

Mushroom Cellar

Pathfinder gives a small happy growl at the kiss before nuzzling her shoulder. "I'll talk to them in a little while I guess, but I think it'd be best for me to talk to Lily alone. That way she doesn't try to be brave about it."

[The Bushranger]

[Campfire]

Jamie shrugs, finding that to make sense, and starts hacking away at the crab herself!



[Infirmary]

Jit gets put in one of the Infirmary beds, and the resident paladin Lays On Hands.

[Vhaidara]

[Infirmary]

That seems to steady his breathing, but he won't regain consciousness for several minutes. Meanwhile, the rest of his vital signs aren't giving great results.

[Morty]

[Maple Cabin]

When you play Rock-Paper-Scissors, which one do you pick first? Yeah.

Tobias actually manages to surprise Sophie this time.
I think I tend to go with scissors, but I've never analyzed it from the point of view of psychology, she says uncertainly.

Mushroom Cellar

Pathfinder gives a small happy growl at the kiss before nuzzling her shoulder. "I'll talk to them in a little while I guess, but I think it'd be best for me to talk to Lily alone. That way she doesn't try to be brave about it."

Reelshka nods.
Yes... I imagine Lily didn't react like her brother did. What do you mean by "trying to be brave about it", though?

[Reinholdt]

[Medical Lab]

Reinholdt can be found here. Sneaking in. Or walking in. Depends on if the door is locked and he needs to pick it or not.

He looks around for some beginner books on medicine. He has some reading to do.

[FireFox]

[Maple Cabin]

I see... Interesting... Toby grins and acts like this has some special significance that Sophie should be worried about. Your question.

[Medical Lab]

The front door is unlocked, so Rein will be able to get into the autopsy suite and the main lab, where he will find the books he is looking for. Toby's office is secured with a simple five pin tumbler lock and the BSL 5 lab is highly secured. He might notice some fresh runes lighting up on the top of the walls as he enters. It seems that Toby has been expanding METIS' influence to the other rooms in the building

[Reinholdt]

[Medical Lab]

Reinholdt doesn't mess with Toby's office, though would be appalled at the lack of security! Only five pins? For shame!

But that's beside the point today. He just takes a few books, finds a seat and reads.

[Earl of Purple]

Deep in the Woods

"Here, I'll show you." Natalie shrugs off her rucksack and reaches inside, pulling out a padded case. Inside are lots of individual hollows, most of them empty, but some have a piece of crystal, a fossil, a pebble of semi-precious stone or a shark's tooth. Natalie takes one of the pebbles; a red one with stripes of different colours. "Shiny rocks work, yes." Though Natalie is far more interested in unworked stones than jewellery, she'll try to see if she can identify any of the materials used. Her knowledge is quite expansive; certainly more so than my own. (I don't care what the crystal/pebble/etc is, just that it looks nice. I still know what some of them are.)

[Vhaidara]

[Infirmary]

Jit stirs a little. His vitals are still way off, but he seems to be waking up.
